(STATS) -- Shortly after Youngstown State found out it was headed to the FCS playoffs for the first time in 10 years, safety LeRoy Alexander stepped to the podium and admitted his Penguins knew little about their opponent before earnestly offering one tidbit hed gleaned from an early scouting report on Samford.We hear they like to pass the ball.Rumor has it that its a dangerous time of year to be a turkey, too.Alexander and his teammates will find out rather quickly on Saturday that what they heard is true as 13th-ranked Youngstown State faces what should be a tough aerial test from Devlin Hodges and one of the nations most dangerous passing attacks.The Penguins (8-3, 6-2 Missouri Valley) were the subdivisions dynasty in the 1990s, winning four national championships in five title game appearances, but theyve made just one playoff appearance since Jim Tressel left for Ohio State in 2001.Its only taken Bo Pelini two years to get Youngstown State back in the 24-team field since returning to his hometown, and after finishing 5-6 in his first season, the Penguins are headed to the playoffs with a defense that hasnt given up more than 24 points to an FCS opponent this season.Pelini didnt stick around long enough at Nebraska to have to worry about any playoff scenarios, but after spending nine years as an NFL assistant prior to starting with the Cornhuskers, he has a pretty good feel for what to expect come Saturday.Its win or go home, Pelini said. Lets go. Lets see what youve got. Thats the kind of challenge you want.Its tough to say if 23rd-ranked Samford (7-4, 5-3 Southern) is the type of task theyll regret having to face for the right to meet third-seeded and second-ranked Jacksonville State. The Bulldogs led the FCS in pass completions (353) and completion percentage (71.3) and were second in attempts (495), with Hodges 33 touchdown passes ranking third nationally.The sophomore, who on Tuesday was named the SoCons offensive player of the year by both the coaches and media, threw for at least 280 yards and two TDs in every game but Samfords latest. And when JJ Jermans 28-yard field goal went through as time expired last Saturday, giving 5-6 East Tennessee State an unlikely 15-14 upset, it seemed like the Bulldogs regular-season finale would also be their 2016 finale.Samfords inclusion in the bracket even caught its coach off guard.(I was surprised) a little bit, Ill be honest with you, Chris Hatcher said. But after evaluating the situation on the way home (Saturday) night and seeing how the bubble teams fared, I really thought we had a chance.Our overall body of work throughout the course of the season -- the Central Arkansas game was a huge win, The Citadel game, how we played them on the road, how we played Mississippi State -- I think that was big for us. ... We were down and out, and all of the sudden, weve got new life about ourselves.The Bulldogs have to hope last week was a blip on the radar and that Hodges can bounce back against a Youngstown State defense that thrives on getting to the quarterback. The Penguins led the FCS with 40 sacks as defensive ends Derek Rivers and Avery Moss registered 10 apiece.It seems unlikely theyll be able to cause that much damage in the backfield considering Samfords offense is built upon Hodges getting the ball out quick to FCS receptions leader Karel Hamilton, Kelvin McKnight and Emmanuel Obajimi, but 18 of the 23 sacks Samford suffered came in its six road games.Youngstown State went 6-0 at home and hasnt lost there since Nov. 14, 2015, when it blew a two-touchdown fourth-quarter lead to eventual national champion North Dakota State.One thing seems certain Saturday: the Penguins owning time of possession. They finished sixth in the FCS, holding the ball for 33:41 per game behind a ground game centered around seniors Martin Ruiz and Jody Webb. Samford was 124th of 125 teams, possessing it for just 24:54 per contest.Youngstown State had five drives that took four plays or fewer while racking up a 2016 FCS record 572 yards on the ground in last Saturdays 65-20 pounding of Missouri State, while Samford comes in as an 8 1/2-point underdog thats dropped three of four.To Hatcher, though, the ETSU loss could be more of a wake-up call than a warning.I hope its gonna be a big positive for us, he said. Now our guys know what its like to have their season over, and now we have a chance to play some more football.Theres nothing like practicing on Thanksgiving morning.

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- On a night when the Air Force defense was battered and burned, linebacker Grant Ross turned in the biggest play of the game.To think, he nearly got ejected in the first half for a targeting penalty.Tim McVey scored four touchdowns, Ross forced a late fumble and Air Force held off Colorado State 49-46 on Saturday in the highest-scoring game of the rivalry.Colorado State receiver Michael Gallup hauled in a pass to convert a first down with around 1:25 remaining, only to have the ball stripped away by Ross and recovered by safety Brodie Hicks to seal the win for the Falcons (7-3, 3-3 Mountain West).We finally figured something out on the final quarter of the final drive, Hicks said. It ended up helping win the game.There was a nervous moment for the Falcons just before halftime when Ross hit Colorado State QB Nick Stevens in the chest on a play that produced an interception by Jesse Washington. The official flagged him for targeting. The replay booth reversed the call and the penalty was nullified.When I saw the replay, I saw I backed off on (the hit), Ross explained. Thats why they didnt throw me out.Im glad (the game) was on us (at the end). The offense played their guts out. The other team played their guts out. Thats just how it came out. Thats how we like it.McVey gained 184 of Air Forces season-high 485 yards rushing. He nearly had a fifth touchdown, but fumbled into the end zone where offensive lineman Dylan Vail pounced on it.The two teams combined for 1,093 total yards, four turnovers and just two punts -- both by Air Force. The 95 combined points surpassed the old mark of 84 in the series set in 2000. The Falcons lead the all-time series 33-21-1 over the Rams (5-5, 3-3).They made their fair share of plays, Colorado State coach Mike Bobo said. We didnt do the things that we needed to do.Stevens finished with 374 yards passing and two TDs. His favorite target was Gallup , who hauled in 13 passes for 213 yards. The Rams never punted, but missed two field goals, failed to convert on a fourth down and turned it over twice.Air Forcee sophomore Arion Worthman stepped in again at quarterback with senior Nate Romine bothered by a sore ankle.dddddddddddd Worthman rushed for 143 yards, including a 54-yard scamper for a score.Stevens pulled the Rams to within a field goal, 49-46, when he found Gallup for a 7-yard score and a two-point conversion with 6:43 remaining. Colorado States defense held and Air Force had to punt. A few plays later, Gallup fumbled trying to break away from Ross.Michael had a heck of a game and hes hurting about the fumble, Bobo said. But hes going to learn from this and were going to learn from this as a team.THE TAKEAWAYColorado State: The Rams turned in plenty of big plays with Dalyn Dawkins breaking off a 61-yard TD run and defensive back Justin Sweet returning an interception 27 yards for a score. Colorado State remains a win away from bowl eligibility.Air Force: Another game, another trophy. A week after wrapping up the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy last, the Falcons took home the Ram-Falcon Trophy. That particular keepsake has gone to the winner since 1980.EARLY PRESENTMcVey insisted he now doesnt owe Vail a holiday gift. He already gave him one courtesy of that touchdown. McVey weaved his way through the defense for a 38-yard gain, only to get hit at the 4 by Colorado States Kevin Davis and lose the ball bouncing into the end zone. There was a hustling Vail to fall on it.Dylan came up to me after the play and said, `I was coming up on you, you have to move a little faster, McVey said, grinning. All right Dylan, way to cover me. It was great.This wasnt the first TD for Vail. He said he scored in a similar manner during his high school days in Texas.UP NEXTColorado State: The Rams play their final football game at Hughes Stadium on Saturday against New Mexico. Colorado State will move into a $220 million on-campus stadium in 2017.Air Force: Travels to San Jose State next Saturday.---www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
